As a child reared on tv, I find the lack of it at home is generally a godsend -- but hey, that's what the internet is for, huh? I usually miss out on the latest pop-culture shows, unless a friend updates me on "
who's in, or who's out," or I catch a
Dancing with the Stars bonding-marathon with my mom. When
Top Design came out, I missed the boat on the drama, why so-and-so is always juxtaposing seating at an angle to the area rugs, and so on.... So you see, I was robbed of the weekly going ons of
Top Design judge,
Kelly Wearstler, and her high fashion ensembles.
During a bout of web surfing on
saint verde digest, I came upon Ms. Wearstler's
website, and was blown away at all the dramatic, interior stylings -- most especially the residential projects. Over the top, yes, but there's definitely a clear voice talking here. I find it beautifully comes together. It's like a big, bubbly stew: equal parts 70's and art deco, a unique dash of
The Fountainhead meets neoclassicism (I know!), pinch of
Cy Twombly, a long walk on the beach, some Mid-Century Modern, and a healthy helping of Hollywood glam. Whew, an interesting mix of ingredients, but it works.
